Bruno Mars announces July tour date at The Palace

Bruno Mars is planning a July 11 tour stop with Ellie Goulding at The Palace of Auburn Hills.

Atlantic recording artist Bruno Mars has unveiled details of his anticipated world tour, including a July 11 stop with Ellie Goulding at The Palace of Auburn Hills.

The North American leg of "The Moonshine Jungle World Tour" gets under way on June 22 at Washington, D.C.'s Verizon Center, then continues through August. The European leg of the tour begins Oct. 2 in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Special guests on select dates of the North American leg include Ellie Goulding and newly signed Elektra artist Fitz & The Tantrums. Tickets for select North American dates and all European dates and will go on-sale March 1.

The announcement of "The Moonshine Jungle World Tour" comes just as "When I Was Your Man" - the latest single from Mars' just-released sophomore album, "Unorthodox Jukebox" - has exploded into the top 10 on Billboard's "Hot 100," where it joins the album's blockbuster first single, "Locked Out Of Heaven," which recently spent six consecutive weeks atop the "Hot 100" chart.

The immediate success of "When I Was Your Man" - which additionally earned honors as the week's top "Streaming Gainer" and "Airplay Gainer" - marks the GRAMMY-winner's 10th consecutive single to hit the top 10, continuing his already-established status as the male artist with the longest streak of top 10 hits as a performer since his debut.

Furthermore, the single's chart ascension places Mars in the history books as the first male artist to simultaneously place two titles in the top 10 since his own "Grenade" and "Just The Way You Are" doubled up on the chart in December 2010/January 2011.

The official companion video for "When I Was Your Man" - directed by Mars and his frequent collaborator, Cameron Duddy ("Locked Out Of Heaven," "The Lazy Song") - premiered earlier this month and has drawn close to 5 million individual views at Bruno's official YouTube channel, http://youtu.be/ekzHIouo8Q4.

Mars recently led a performance on the 55th Annual Grammy Awards fronting an all-star tribute to Bob Marley alongside the likes of Sting and Rihanna, which marked the Grammy-winner's third consecutive year to perform on the acclaimed show.

As its title suggests, "Unorthodox Jukebox" once again sees Mars melding a multitude of musical approaches to create his own distinctive sound. Executive produced by The Smeezingtons, the hit-making production team comprised of Mars, Philip Lawrence, and Ari Levine, the collection also features contributions from such top producers as Jeff Bhasker (fun., Kanye West, Jay-Z), Mark Ronson (Amy Winehouse, Lil Wayne, Black Lips) and Diplo (M.I.A, Usher).
